The Maroons have two-stand out nominations in Allan "Alfie" Langer and Johnathan Thurston.

Alfie, was labelled "too small" for Origin but played 30-odd games in the No.7 jumper.

JT launched his Origin career at halfback until moving into the No.6 jumper to replace champion Darren Lockyer in 2012.

Splitting these two superstars is like splitting Phar Lap and Tulloch or Tiger Woods and Jack Nicklaus.

Both dominated in their own right but in far different styles and they have scrap books impossible to jump over.

Langer answered an SOS from Queensland coach Wayne Bennett in 2001 flying back from the UK to inspire the Maroons to victory over NSW in the series decider in Brisbane -- one of the great masterstrokes of Origin.

Close to the line Alfie, who could be mistaken for a ball boy he was so small in stature, mesmerised defences with his jinking runs, bamboozling then with a short kicking game where he seemed to have the ball on a string.

Thurston's competitiveness is his trademark and like Langer, when the game was on the line, he stepped up every time.

No player in the game matches his involvement for 80 minutes.

JT played in all 24 games during Queensland's record eight straight series' wins. His current record of 30 straight Origin games since 2005 may never be beaten.

Cooper Cronk has done extremely well since inheriting the No.7 jumper from JT while Mark "Muppet" Murray and Adrian Lam who led Queensland to the unwinnable 1995 series 3-0 whitewash of an "unbeatable" Blues side, make up our five nominations.
